Sullins is the first Americacorp Vista volunteer to be assigned to Cumberland County's

Guardian ad Litem

program.

Sullins' job is to find new advocates for children in court.

"Last year in Cumberland County there were over 1,000 substantiated
cases of abuse and neglect. Many of those children went to court and had no Guardian ad Litem volunteer. So my goal is to recruit and train more volunteers so more children will be represented in court," Sullins said.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer contact the program at (910) 437-1870.
